The goal of this paper is to make an architecture framework for wireless sensor networks that is used for water management application. The proposed framework focuses on offering differentiated services for sensor nodes. Differentiated services are supported based on the information passed from the sensor node to differentiated service motes. Three differentiated services are offered gold, silver and bronze which are the three types of services that are supported in the model. The architecture also addresses practical considerations in the operation phase, such as monitoring the network during water availability. The proposed architecture is composed of (1) gathering/sensing modules,(2) differentiated service mote modules, and (3) home depot modules. The architecture offers differentiated services, re-configurability, and reliability. Three types of mote modules are supported in this architecture gold, silver and bronze based on the information transferred to the home depot.
